Are you still eating Christmas food?

[BlazesBoylansHat]

We are! We're having our ham tonight with stuffed twice baked potatoes, red cabbage & cauliflower cheese.

We'll eat the rest of the ham tomorrow

We don't have too much left after that which is good as we're away for 4 days over new year.

We still have chocolates & alcohol left but they have long life so will never be wasted. I'm v glad we are using all the actual food we bought

I bought far less this year as we were away visiting family & away again in few day. I didn't buy some stuff we usually grt & we really haven't missed it. I didn't bother with:
Tin of belgian chocolate biscuits
Cheese board
Cheese crackers
Charcuterie
Pate
Dips of any sort
Chocolates (we bought 1 tub quality street the day we put up the tree & three quarters still there)
Christmas pudding
Nuts

We have been enjoying:

All butter pastry mince pies from small bakery with baileys squirty cream
Baileys thick cream in our coffee in the morning
Nice wine
Real baileys with ice

Tell him to sod off?! Like hell would I let a bloke decide what I or my children ate!

We have eaten all of the meat and veg, finished last tonight

Some desserts left (past their use by) which will hopefully get eaten tonight/tomorrow and not kill anyone 🤣

Then we only have -

Big box of Lindt chocolates (bought for visiting mid dec but took ill so didn’t go) BBE June - will probably gift/stick in a raffle before then
Two tins of fancy shortbread which dh will eat over the coming weeks
Crisps/nuts will get eaten eventually
1/2 bottle of hotel chocolate liquor (which was gifted last year but not opened then) will probably not get drunk and will go down the sink at some point

Leave him to it and you sort yourself and the kids out fresh food or whatever you fancy - leftovers like that past 3/4 days grim tho to be fair. What are we today -the 29th , nah, bin the sprouts no need of it man!

We're only just starting on ours as we've been away . I purposely didn't buy much , but have recieved lots of food as presents. It's been my birthday today so I've made inroads in the wine and cheese .

Yes because since Saturday I’ve been a few times to M&S to buy some of their delicious Christmas food which is all reduced to half price. I’m still not bored of stollen and Christmas pudding!

I was just about to eat the left over After Eights, only they seem to have disappeared. There can be only one suspect - our son, who seems to think that I have boxes of them stashed all year round. I think that he may have smuggled them out as he left on Christmas Day. I will be seeing him tomorrow and question him. I still have lots of cheese and crackers, fancy crisps, fancy biscuits which I never really eat and other stuff but I wanted an After Eight 😥

We have quite a big bowl of chocolates left, though the children and their friends munched their way through quite a lot of that this afternoon. We still have cheese and crackers , as well as some biscuits, and we haven't even cut into the Christmas cake yet. I think we have some mince pies left too.
Our Christmas doesn't get started until late December (no decs up, no treat food, etc) so we really do wring out the whole thing across the 12 days of Christmas.

Yes. We’ve still got some cured meats, cheese and crackers left.

Lots of chocolate and biscuits left too!

We had beef. Bought a big joint for 5 adults. I have to say it was perfect.
I had a sandwich with it on christmas day, supper time after the dinner about 3 o clock and boxing day and saturday. Two of us had it warmed with veggies on boxing day and ds1 took 3 slices with him.
The only cheese i got was wensleydale for the cake but i only got a small one because there's only me that likes it.
I'm trying not to think about how much chocolate there is.
We are quite good at not buying stuff that we won't eat except chocolate obviously. Although i did go to Aldi on saturday for milk and Lebkuchen that i just discovered i really love.

Finished everything except the rubbish bottom of the box chocolates and I'm very glad. I can't face another mince pie.

Weve havent touched any of the treats or specials that we bought as people kept coming round with more stuff such as yule logs, wine, beer, pies and so on.

Ive got Celebrations and Quality Street unopened, 2 x cheeseboards, a Christmas cake 2x nut roasts, mince pies, boxes of toffee, blocks of stollen, nuts, wine, boxes of beer 5x bottles of Baileys etc.

We have cheese, chocolate and biscuits left, and half a Christmas cake. We have a tween & teen in the house so all will definitely be eaten eventually

Technically, yes. But that's because the majority of things are ingredients and/or were frozen on delivery rather than 'must be consumed within 5 days'.

DP has a stash of snacks that'll keep him going indefinitely, I've got 4 mini GF panettone hanging from a kitchen hook like bells for when I suddenly feel an urge for it.

The cheese definitely doesn't care if it's eaten next week rather than yesterday, that's for certain.

No. It sounds like Im very uptight but I was obese for 35 years and didn't enjoy life as a result. I've spent thousands of pounds on mounjaro and now Im very slim. There is no way Im putting a stone back on over christmas by eating for days.

I had cheese, crackers and chutney for dinner followed by some celebrations 😃 Afternoon snack was a mince pie

Will get back to my normal balanced way of eating on NYD but in the mean time I am enjoying all the Christmas treats

I'm eating leftovers tonight. Tomorrow I'm taking turkey out of freezer to make a turkey stew because I've got a lot of vegetables to use up. I got swede, carrots, shallots, parsnips and potatoes for 5p each from Lidl. I don't want to waste any.

I've got a Yule log and half a cheesecake left. 2 tubs of chocolates, Treeselets, Twiglets and 2 cheeseboards and 2 BJ ones of crackers. I've also got some smoked gammon I honey glazed on Xmas Eve and we had sandwiches for lunch today. I'll give them another sandwich for lunch tomorrow to use it up. The dogs can eat any bits left then.

Yes, it’s never ending!
Had Camembert with leftover pigs and roasties dipped in on Boxing Day. Yesterday made a cheese sauce for pasta using leftover cheeses and had it with salad. Had a full turkey roast dinner tonight!

Yes, and will be for a while. Mostly because we've been full of this flu bug thing and for the last 3 weeks a good 70 percent of our meals have been assorted forms of sandwiches or wraps so we just haven't made a dent in anything. Barely even touched the Xmas choc or alcohol or cheese.

To be fair, we had our Xmas lunch yesterday (first day everyone was off work) so we’re still balls deep in turkey. There’s also half a fridge of cheese and trifles.

I’m the only one who eats a lots of the Christmas food. Mince pies, cheese, pate, smoked salmon etc. I still buy it like an idiot and then hate myself for eating it.
Thrown/freezed the last of it today and going back on the waggon tomorrow.

We still have mince pies, cinnamon biscuits, iced fruitcake, stollen, lebkuchen, cheese biscuits, nuts and pretzels. And a tin of quality street that I’ll keep for Easter!

Today I’ve had turkey on toast, ham & lentil soup made with the leftover ham and turkey curry plus 3 leftover profiteroles and 3 Ferraro rocher! So yes!

Exactly the same here and no waste 😊 did meal planners, still had plenty of luxury treats

We've had bubble and squeak tonight with red cabbage and cauliflower cheese. We've finished all the dinner stuff now and the cake and trifle. We've a whole cheeseboard set left and a stilton as well as a box of fancy chocolate biscuits. Booze wise We've an open bottle of red, a white and some low alcohol cider. I really didn't buy as much this year. However I've still got a few packets of pigs in blankets in the freezer and today I bought a load of reduced sausages meat and smoked salmon in m and s for the freezer too.
